We’ve heard of Wi-Fi when it comes to wireless internet connection and Wi-Fi does rhyme with Hi-Fi which by the way is High Fidelity for audio systems. Basically, both terms are advanced technology that has got smartphones racing to the end of the line that gets moved at the point of a new innovation. Since we are on the subject of innovation: sound and music happen to be what lots of people are paying attention to on smartphones these days. Smart phone users spend more time listening to music on their phones hence the desire for better music quality. Some users argue that top OEMs pushed the audio definition in their flagships in a bid to achieve natural sound effect. The result?
Some others say consumers have become more and more ‘sound’ and audio conscious, as such every phone maker itches to outdo competition in terms of audio quality in order to stay relevant. Whichever side of the divide you belong, one thing is for sure, audio has gotten better on smart phones but Hi-Fi (High Fidelity) audio has remained a difficult task to achieve on smart phones… until now.
HiFi audio on TECNO PHANTOM 5: Hear the Magic
Chipsets are what stand top music phones out from the mediocre cluster and speaking of chipsets, the new Tecno Phantom 5 boasts the latest MediaTek TFA9890 with advanced internal boost converter which raises output voltage to the phone’s Dolby stereo speakers.
The result, true HiFi surround as clear as natural sound even when you crank up the audio volume of Tecno Phantom 5, sound distortion is minimal-this is truly first of its kind!
If the bass is clear and makes you nod to every beat, my guess, the stereo speakers are great and the chipset fantastic.
Hi-performance chipsets in smart phones mean more power (Watts) to speaker stereos but not all smart phones with monster chipsets play HiFi audio.
Dolby 2.0 Nature surround stereos
There are powerful chipsets out there especially donned by luxury smart phones but a handful of these smart phones boasts advance music reverberation stereo speakers both external and on headphones.
The Tecno Phantom 5 is equipped with state-of-the-art Dolby HiFi 2.0 stereos custom designed for HiFi audio. These speakers deliver clear and loud music with minimal distortion of sound when the volume is cranked up-it doesn’t matter their small surface area.
Best music phones of 2014 Vs newcomers of 2015
HTC One M8 ruled 2014 with Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset which delivers 1.28V voltage to Dolby “Boom sound” stereos. Apple’s September launch, iPhone 6 came really close but the single speaker system of the world’s favorite smart phone let it down, with slightly higher noise (noise 65dB, a notch higher than M8’s 64dB) iPhone6 stayed glued to second position.
Music newbies of 2015
It took a Tecno Phantom 5 to scale the Hi-Fi audio hurdle.
2015 have seen flagships devices with impressive chipsets like Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 (HTC One M9 and M9+), SAMSUNG Exynos 7420 Octa-core (Galaxy S6, S6 Edge and Edge+) and Apple SoC (iPhone 6S?) but as impressive as these premium smart phones are, their audio output do not deliver Hi-Fi. My guess, the specs war for top brands tilted more towards design, internal storage space and mobile payment services-Samsung Pay Vs Apple Pay…scores, anyone?
In conclusion, Tecno Mobile products have matured in terms of design, user experience and all round performance over the years, little wonder the brand has re-positioned itself as a mobile entertainment stop-shop-we’ve seen flagships that target specific market segments like music lovers (Tecno Boom J7) and picture aficionados (Camon C8) launched in Nigerian market half year of 2015.
The question everyone is asking is will Tecno’s rising premium status and reinforced market strategy further erode market share of global heavyweights like Samsung, Apple and HTC? Time, as always will tell.

ofcouse TECNO is eating deep into HTC and Samsung Market share, but iPhone fanboys are the hardest to convert
Yeah, True
Hi-Fi sound, impressive! Tecno is really taking over
Yea, I was telling my friend the same thing the other day. Tecno is now everywhere
Awesome phone really.
TECNO came alive on this one. If they can win me over, it won’t be long before they take over the Nigerian phone market..
